In WAGO I/O-Check Service in multiple products an unauthenticated remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet containing OS commands to crash the iocheck process and write memory resulting in loss of integrity and DoS.

Microsoft's latest round of monthly security updates has been released with fixes for 68 vulnerabilities spanning its software portfolio, including patches for six actively exploited zero-days. 12 of the issues are rated Critical, two are rated High, and 55 are rated Important in severity. This also includes the weaknesses that were closed out by OpenSSL the previous week. Also separately

Let's face it: Having “2022 election” in the headline above is probably the only reason anyone might read this story today. Still, while most of us here in the United States are anxiously awaiting the results of how well we've patched our Democracy, it seems fitting that Microsoft Corp. today released gobs of security patches for its ubiquitous Windows operating systems. November's patch batch includes fixes for a whopping six zero-day security vulnerabilities that miscreants and malware are already exploiting in the wild.

Long-awaited security fixes for ProxyNotShell and Mark of the Web bypasses are part of a glut of actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities and other critical flaws that admins need to prioritize in the coming hours.

### Impact An attacker can use this prototype pollution sink to trigger a remote code execution through the MongoDB BSON parser. ### Patches Prevent prototype pollution in MongoDB database adapter. ### Workarounds Disable remote code execution through the MongoDB BSON parser. ### Collaborators Mikhail Shcherbakov (KTH), Cristian-Alexandru Staicu (CISPA) and Musard Balliu (KTH) working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative ### References - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-prm5-8g2m-24gg

An information leakage vulnerability in the Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement scan response in Bluetooth Core Specifications 4.0 through 5.2, and extended scan response in Bluetooth Core Specifications 5.0 through 5.2, may be used to identify devices using Resolvable Private Addressing (RPA) by their response or non-response to specific scan requests from remote addresses. RPAs that have been associated with a specific remote device may also be used to identify a peer in the same manner by using its reaction to an active scan request. This has also been called an allowlist-based side channel.

Microsoft is warning of an uptick in the nation-state and criminal actors increasingly leveraging publicly-disclosed zero-day vulnerabilities for breaching target environments. The tech giant, in its 114-page Digital Defense Report, said it has "observed a reduction in the time between the announcement of a vulnerability and the commoditization of that vulnerability," making it imperative that

The software giant also recorded an increase in attacks on IT services companies as state-backed threat actors have adapted to better enterprise defenses and cast a wider net, Microsoft says.

The settlement muddies the waters even further for the viability of war exclusion clauses when it comes to cyber insurance.

The cybersecurity agency announced it intends to scan all Internet-connected devices hosted in the UK for known vulnerabilities.
